Hack the MIF... OK, before I begin, I've been using FM non-stop since about 1998, with use here and there prior to 1998. I *do* hack the MIF, I have hacked the MIF, and will continue to hack the MIF, but WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO HACK THE MIF. I have one word for FM development, and I hope they do read this: USABILITY We shouldn't have to hack the MIF to do something as mundane as globally remove all char formats from select paragraphs, or search for one applied char format and remove it without having to tag each found paragraph with Default P Font. Sorry for the rant, but hacking the MIF shouldn't have to be the preferred method for this kind of work. I truly hope Adobe addresses this and other global control issues in its next release of FrameMaker.
